Back to working on Labyrintheer. But it’s Unity 2020, and I’ve been interested in playing with ray-tracing (RTX), so I started a new project, brought in some old assets and started toying with it.
The first entry is the trusty Gel Cube (from InfinityPBR) with RTX materials applied. This one is only lit by the internal point light that dies off when it dies. This is both of the attack animations and the death animation without scene lighting:
The next is with scene lighting. This is where RTX really shines with colored shadows cast through the transparent material of the GelCube:
The video quality isn’t as good as I’d hoped – need to work on that a bit.
Really, working with RTX in Unity’s HDRP isn’t terribly difficult, but there are a variety of gotchas that make it a bit of a headache, and materials are set up significantly differently (as are lights and scene volumes and…) That said, I plan to work on a few creatures first, just to get a feel for it all, then move on to bringing in the dungeons under RTX. Should be fun!
